Avoid this place for so many reasons. One example. They evicted my aunt because they were not licensed or staffed to provide the level of care that they were charging her for. We had to get the state ombudsman involved in order to get a refund for a partial month’s rent after vacating by her mid-month eviction date.<br><br>At over $6,000/month, I would have expected better and more consistent care, a nicer apartment with more direct sunlight, and better food. At her new facility she is paying less than $5,000/month for a light-filled 1 bedroom (not studio), better care, and better food.<br><br>If anyone wants to investigate this place I would be happy to provide a more detailed account of our experience.
